Shocking News: The BBC Discovers Reality

Regular viewers of BBC News or readers of their web site know that the BBC has been the leading promoter of global warming alarmism among the major media. It therefore comes as real news that the BBC has recognized that the lack of any global warming for the past decade presents a problem for the alarmists to explain. BBC weatherman and climate correspondent Paul Hudson published an article last Friday titled, "What Happened to Global Warming?"

There is nothing remotely new in anything Hudson reports, but the article is astonishing for what it reveals about the changing grounds of the debate. Hudson concludes: "One thing is for sure. It seems the debate about what is causing global warming is far from over. Indeed some would say it is hotting up."

Naturally, the alarmists are not amused. Nor will they be amused by Debra Saunders's column in the San Francisco Chronicle or the fact that the Drudge Report featured the BBC story.
